, some might argue it's what helped the president win re-election. they're going to argue that again? why? and the president will, will fight to defend medicare. he will fight to defend medicaid. because they're crucial to obama care. now james said i don't know why he's cutting medicare. there are going to be some strategic cuts around the borders. but the president is not going to give up on medicare and he's not going to give up on medicaid. and that was really what the 2012 election in terms of domestic policy was really all about. >> james, is this terrible strategy for the republican party in the long-term? >> i cannot believe that it's four and a half months after the election and they haven't sort of public strategic debate among each other and they're all sort of out there attacking each other. i've been around politics for a long time and a lot of people on this panel, i've been through a lot of defeats and i've seen the other side go through a lot of defeats. but i've never seen a reaction to a defeat like these republicans are right now.

she's worried about getting re-elected in that state. and until you see the zeitgeist change within the state, these politicians are not responsive to that. where bloomberg can make a huge difference is he can go into a local race, a congressional district, he can go in on a state. when mary landrieu starts seeing bloomberg money against her, then i think she might change her mind. >> let's talk about bloomberg money. as if he's got bloomberg money. "the new york times" quotes thomas mann from brookings, said the $12 million in advertising was unlikely to influence the outcome of the legislation, unless lawmakers were convinced that mr. bloomberg would open his wallet again after the vote, both to reward those who supported the bill and to punish those who did not. that's absolutely key, said mann. what do you make of that? >> i think that makes sense. in the immediate environment we're in today, one of these media campaigns can be a flash in the pan. but i think this is a long game and think it's a long game for good reason. i actually

there was an israeli election as well as an american election. so i think the dynamics between the two leaders are in a did i place than before, but the bottom line for both of them is they are leaders of their nation. they have to pursue not a personal agenda, and it's not just about how they get along personally. the issue is what's best for both of those countries, and the path ahead is clear, it's better for the u.s. and for israel to head down the path towards a two-state solution. >> putting personal politicians is a lesson we could probably learn here in the united states. thank you. >> thank you very much, alex. >>> the house gop caucus is on board, but rebels had some reservations. is the paul ryan plan an actual budget, a political manifesto or long-term liability. we will discuss when former chief white house economist douglas holtz-eek on joins us just ahead.

we were six million of the electorate this last election. there was only a three million-vote margin between mitt romney and president obama. there's also some reference to the policy there. but it's unclear exactly what that would mean or where it would go. look, this just falls within the narrative of everything we're seeing in this country. as more and more republicans, more and more democrats and the american public evolves and has evolved quite quickly on this issue. and it's time quite frankly for our elected leaders in washington to catch up with the rest of the country. >> rock on, human rights campaign president, chad griffin, thanks for coming on the show. >> pleasure to be here, thank you, alex. >>> hash tag now is the time, it could be mantra for middle east peace. we will ask the new republican's ben birnbaum about the fierce urgency of a two-state solution when he joins us live from tel aviv, just ahead. hey, our salads.

you look at the senate dems up for re-election, baucus, begich, landrieu, my ir. >> i don't think any member of congress i've spoken to has ever chalked him up as a threat. but the house of representatives has republican members from rural states, that don't really think much about mike bloomberg, he could dump as many money as he wants into the campaign. but you've seen republican super pacs and other republican organizations, dump as much money into it when republicans go home to their districts across the country, in the south, in the west where hunting is huge, i don't think any of them are hearing a desire for gun legislation. and there's an idea that maybe we need some action-forcing event. we've had several of them. there was a shooting this morning and republicans are not talking about this. >> then how do you square that with the polling? which is so overwhelming -- nothing gets 91%. like extra-long recess might get support of like 91% of the country, personal recess, not even in schools. all i'm saying is gallup, 91%. cbs news, 91%. abc news/"washington post" 91%. overwhelmi

. >> isn't that the problem, the elites within the party and political people who have to win elections that evolution on this issue opens them up potentially to votes from younger americans, but the base of the party isn't evolving on this issue, are they? >> that's right. so the elites recognize they need to change and when the republicans issue the report describing where the party needed to go, gay marriage was prominently mentioned. that and immigration were the two issues where they took a position that we need to change that position. but the other thing is that the elites never cared very much about gay marriage or social issues. although the republican elites are all about the money. the base is where the intensity on the social issues are. >> so the supreme court, which is a political entity, lee, we can pretend that the court is above politics, but at the end of the day, the members of the court are chosen in a very partisan manner. there is something of an ideological litmus test to get them there. you wind up with a court that reflects our polarized politics. is it the cour
